State Selector not working in 2.3.6, in Internet Explorer

If their normal support is Monday-Friday, why do they typically release updates on Fridays?

Abland, great! it’s working for me! Thanks

Thanks Abland – that worked for me. Now if they’d fix the broken product add-ons. No longer deletable or editable with the new WC release. But that’s another battle…

This is also broken in IE10/Win8.

This can be patched temporarily without modifying core by adding the following to the active theme’s functions.php or to a new plugin. You could also add an if-check to only do this for version 2.3.6 I suppose.

add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_country_locale', 'gowp_fix_wp_issue_7729', 99 );
function gowp_fix_wp_issue_7729( $locales ) {
        if ( 'specific' == get_option( 'woocommerce_allowed_countries' ) ) {
                $countries = get_option( 'woocommerce_specific_allowed_countries' );
                foreach ( $countries as $country ) {
                        $locales[$country]['state']['placeholder'] = "";
                }
        } else {
                foreach ( $locales as $key => $locale ) {
                        $locales[$key]['state']['placeholder'] = "";
                }
        }
        return $locales;
}

Thanks very much, karpstrucking, that fix worked perfectly! Now on 2.3.6 without IE error.

My pleasure!

There’s a problem with the placeholder in karpstrucking‘s patch: when a user chooses a different country, state and postalcode fields look bad.

Gregorio, I wasn’t able to replicate this in my test environment. Can you provide a screenshot and the relative details of your WC settings?

Checkout page broken. Provinces tab populates on page opening.Unable to enter any info or change page. Waiting woocommerce fix IE11/win7

ailnoir, have you tried using the workaround I outlined above?

Thank you karpstrucking. It works perfectly

I placed the code given by karpstrucking in my theme’s functions.php, but it doesn’t seems to be working.
Please help !

Or do what woocommerce dev has done to fix in their branch: https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/blob/90a78780be0c96a6b8d4da7b9aac1416d570824b/includes/class-wc-countries.php

Just replace your class-wc-countries.php with the one from github which is the fixed version from 2.3.7

karpstrucking, try alternating countries that have the two different types of user interface for the state field (input and select), and then take a look at that state field (empty input error appears) and also the postalcode field (undesired placeholder shown).
